Farewell is a Sorcery (mana cost {4}{W}{W}; Sorcery; rarity: rare; most recent printing listed by Scryfall: Murders at Karlov Manor Commander). Scryfall lists its Commander legality as legal, Modern legality as legal, and Legacy legality as legal. Here is what the card actually does and how to judge whether your deck wants it.
The card, on its actual text
Choose one or more —
• Exile all artifacts.
• Exile all creatures.
• Exile all enchantments.
• Exile all graveyards.
That text is the whole evaluation. Cards earn slots by what their text does in the games you actually play — the turns where mana is tight, the board is contested, and a card drawn late has to matter immediately. Judge this one against the role it would fill in your list, not against a highlight reel, and weigh any drawback printed on it as seriously as the effect itself.

Which decks want it
Sequencing is a skill this deck rewards. The order you deploy threats, hold interaction, and commit to the board decides more games than any single card choice. Play a few games slowly, talk through your turns out loud, and the deck's real lines of play will surface — then tune the list to serve the lines you actually take.

The honest verdict
Tune in small steps. Change two or three cards at a time, play several games, and write down what actually happened rather than what you hoped would happen. A list adjusted on evidence converges on its best version; a list rebuilt after every loss never stays still long enough to be judged.
